Tron Theatre to Present Tense Couples' Drama GOD OF CARNAGE
TRON THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS GOD OF CARNAGE
THU 9 MAR - SAT 25 MAR (PRESS PERFORMANCE FRI 10 MAR, 7.45PM)
This March Tron Theatre Company is delighted to present Yasmina Reza's modern classic God Of Carnage, translated by Christopher Hampton.
Michel (Colin McCredie) and Véronique (Anita Vettesse) Vallon's little boy has been hit in the park by Alain (Richard Conlon) and Annette (Lorraine McIntosh) Reille's son. With the best of intentions, the grown-ups meet to discuss the matter in a calm and rational manner in Michel and Véronique's comfortable bourgeois apartment.
It isn't long, however, before the couples begin to get on each other's nerves. As the evening progresses (and the rum is drunk), diplomatic civility makes way for all out conflict, leaving liberal principles, expensive flowers and half-digested food in tatters on the floor.
Winner of the Tony Award for Best New Play and Olivier Award for Best Comedy (2009), God Of Carnage is a brutally entertaining and stingingly comic character study of middle class pretence and savage parental instinct.
Directed by Gareth Nicholls and designed by Karen Tennent, with lighting design by Simon Wilkinson and sound design by Michael John McCarthy, God Of Carnage is set to be a tense and darkly farcical work, which proves that, ultimately, behaving well gets you nowhere...
